  The Plan at this time regarding Tenders is to purchase a 1250gpm/3000gal Tender in the next couple years. Then we would sell the 1987 Int/3d and the new tender would be able to operate as a reserve engine if needed. We would keep the 1981 Int/4 Guys that we purchased from Woodstock as a 2nd tender.

  The plan as of now is to sell the 1984 Ford C/3D and the 1980/1997 Spartan/FMC/US Tanker. This would put Engine 841(2014 Spartan/UST) and Engine 842 xE844 (1997 Freightliner/3D) frontline with Engine 843 (1987 International/3D) in Reserve.

  The Spartan/FMC engine they bought from Nunda Rural are they getting rid of it?

  Nice. Really nice. No trace of white so there could be a trend moving away from white like many rigs from the early 90’s to the late 00’s
